Unfortunately for the Middleverse, Natalie Morales has a starring role in the upcoming series Boldly Going Nowhere. The Middleman just wouldn't be the same without her. On a brigher note, Boldly is a sci-fi series by the hilarious creators of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
@SampattiAntilochus: I'm happy to hear she'll be working steadily. Now if her bohemian roomate can get a regular spot, I'd love to see her in anything.
I bought 3 copies. One to show people, one to lend people, and one for my own personal middle-vault. Each time, they come back with big joyful smiles and heads full of middle-quotes, saying how they wished they'd watched this show back when I told them about it.
Then they ask me when the next season starts.
The next part is hard on me, and almost too painful to watch.
@Briareosdx: I was really disappointed when they didn't have it at my local bestbuy. I still have a copy and I am preaching the middle-evangel to every middle-person who will middle-listen.
I didn't think the show was particularly brilliant, or that its cancellation was particularly tragic. It was kinda cute, mostly silly and very low-budget. That might have given it a certain quaint charm, but for me it never rose above mediocre.
@zslane: Why are you here in a thread where people are celebrating The Middleman then? I never understand this. I don't love all the sci-fi out there, but I don't stop around where other people are loving something that I don't just to tell them how that thing wasn't really worth their level of adoration.
@DangerousDac: Yes, for us Europeans. It's region free as there are no region restrictings on it, and the only issue I've heard of that can arise is that US PS3-owners are unable to watch European DVDs on their standard def TVs (European TV standard being 576p, US is 480p). With HD-TVs they don't have this problem. So yay PS3!
Thank you, Middle-cast. Thank you, Middle-internets. That single tear you see at the corner of my eye? It's one part sorrow, and one part joy. It is a Middle-Tear.
@VartanCurvus: I am lucky enough to have a copy of it... we'll be posting a review soon. And I'm betting you can order it online although I am too exhausted to search just now...
@VartanCurvus: there was a little delay thanks to the vagaries of comic book distribution - the book has shipped to diamond and should be at finer comic book stores either tomorrow or a week from tomorrow. the viper website is currently under repairs, but they should have it for mail order in their shop shortly.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the Twilight Zone.
I've never seen Middleman, but now you've officially convinced me to give it a chance. There goes some precious time that I just would have spent wasting it on other time wasters.
Is there any reason why you, or some other io9 staffer, didn't record this? I would have thought it would be the logical conclusion to all the wonderful Middleman Recaps you did.

Big thanks to the cast for all getting together and bringing us this. It's some closure, at least.

Also, if this wasn't recorded, and placed for the whole world to experience and enjoy, there is no justice in this world.
